One Cool Dude

I am going with a one-card post tonight. This card
was inserted in to National Convention packs in 2013 by Panini. The card is of
Panini employee Tracy Hackler and includes a large multi-colored relic from his
t-shirt and is autographed.

Topps and Panini have both included employees but Tracy
Hackler is probably one of the few employees that has shown time and again that
he is a big advocate of the average collectors and has been a cool dude since
his time at Beckett.

The card has been around since the 2013 National
Convention but it just hung around my Want List as a gray whale until I finally
gave in when COMC had their Memorial Day special sale.

About Me

I started collecting as a kid but by the time I hit my teens my interests were elsewhere. I returned to the hobby in 1992, just in time to see the junk wax era go in to full swing. My collecting interests have changed over the past 25 years and I prefer to focus on just a couple of players.

My collection is very specific now because I want to keep it controlled and organized, I now focus mainly on my Ken Griffey Jr. & Jay Buhner collections.
